The man who fled after murdering his ex-partner in a shopping center in Murcia has been arrested.
The man was convicted of gender-based violence in April and there was a restraining order in place to keep him away from the victim, with whom he had a daughter under five years old.
Last night, the Civil Guard and the National Police surrounded the man who hours earlier had murdered his ex-partner in a shopping center in Murcia and had fled. After midnight, agents from the Armed Institute arrested him in Puerto Lumbreras, about 90 kilometers southwest of the capital, heading towards Almería, according to Cadena Ser.
The man under investigation had an active restraining order: he had been sentenced on April 15, 2026, by the magistrate of number 1 of the Section on Violence against Women of the Murcia District Court as the perpetrator of a crime of ill-treatment in the family sphere committed against his ex-partner, with whom he had a daughter under five years old in common.
